Like Ryne Sandburg, Andre Dawson is on of my most collected Hall of Fame Cubbie!
As soon as I had started collecting Cubs, I was searching out Andre Dawson. I still remember buy Andre Dawson's
rookie card in a card show in the 80's and how proud I was to own that card.

Ford continues to tease about a non-gasoline, electronic, Mustang coming in the future. But I see this a risky future for the Pony line. I'm not a car engineer. I also don't have an inside track with any car manufacturer's engineering team. I just have a few thoughts on this.

First, the majority of Mustang lovers love the sound of a Mustang. Especially any Mustang in the GT line. Electric cars are notorious for being super quiet. To the point the blind don't like them for safety reasons.

Then there is weight of electric cars. Currently Ford is making lighter, more powerful, faster cars than Ferrari.
In fact, Ford purchased Ferrari cars when developing the 6th generation to ensure they were.
The engine itself on the 6th generation 5.0 L engines are at least 12 pounds lighter. But electric cars are heavy.
The heavier the vehicle, the more power is lost moving down the road and Mustangs are about performance.

Making the Perfect Layer Cake
Many people think that baking a cake is as easy as buying a box of mix and then adding water and a couple of eggs. True, this will produce a cake, but it will be far from perfect. It’s best to start from scratch. Choosing the proper fresh ingredients and maintaining good technique is key.

Ingredients
Always start by preheating your oven. A preheated oven is key to even baking. If you throw a pan in an oven that's still heating up, you will end up with a cake that is burned on the top and still batter on the bottom.

Then choose the ingredients. It's a good idea to set out all the ingredients in the beginning so that you don't end up with a half-mixed batter only to realize you are out of eggs. The kind of layer cake you’re making requires different recipes. Choose cake flour to increase the lightness of a cake or a whole wheat flour to increase the density of a cake. The kind of sugar you use can also make or break a cake. White sugar will m…

There is nearly 50 years difference between my first red 1967 Mustang and my newer 2016 Mustang.

Completely different cars concerning how they are made and the technology used by each.
Yet, sitting behind the steering wheel on both cars are oddly the same spirit of the vehicles.

The fact you hear the engine. The rumble from their V8 or V6 is something I will miss when cars all go electric.The long red hood you stare over with twin ridges.The three chrome pieces on the steering wheel with the horse in the middle.Round gaugesThe simple way you sit in the seat.The heavy doors that you open and close when you get in and out of the vehicle.
Of course the steering wheel, suspension, safety, and power are all better than any Mustang made in the 60s. But somehow Ford makes a Mustang feel like a Mustang and Mustangs makes me smile.
